Alpine regions on the Tibetan Plateau are sensitive to climate change. Little is known, however, about their long-term hydroclimate variability due to short instrumental records.<\/p>\n

A research team from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research of the Chinese Academy of Science<\/a>s established a 537-year standard shrub-ring chronology by cross-dating living and dead Wilson juniper (Juniperus pingii var. wilsonii) shrubs sampled near the Nam Co Lake on the south-central Tibetan Plateau. <\/p>\n

Trees are absent in this area, where patches of alpine shrub species can survive. However, very few alpine shrub species there provide a rare opportunity to retrieve changes of alpine ecosystem by shrub-ring analysis. Among alpine shrubs, Wilson juniper is widespread throughout the south-central Tibetan Plateau.
\nThe established shrub-ring width chronology is one of the world’s longest shrub-ring chronologies. Shrub-ring chronology from 1605 to 2010 was then used to reconstruct mean May-June drought severity (Standardized Moisture Anomaly Index).
\nTwo long-term dry spring periods (1637-1683 and 1708-1785) occurred during the Little Ice Age implies that cold temperature may slow down hydrological cycle.
\nThis study, published in Geophysical Research Letters<\/i>, highlights the importance of alpine juniper shrubs in understanding hydrological cycle in dry, continental alpine treeless areas.
\nThe shrub-ring chronology and reconstructed data are available at the National Tibetan Plateau Data Center.<\/p>\n
